I am working on crazy patchwork quilt and then I am going to embelish it with embroidery. My lecturer thinks it is looking very contenporary and wants me to do contemporary stitching on it

I am a bit lost and looking for inspiration help

You could do large stitches in colours that match or contrast with the quilt. Large feather stitches in a contrasting colour near or on where the patches join would look contemporary.

Also large chain stitches in the middle of a patch, perhaps picking up on the shape of a print in one of the patches.
